could not wait for match days,bag of chips in macari’s ,then 90mins of watching some of the best players around Ivor &len ,herbie williams,mel nurse,harry griffiths;johnny king just a few of the great team playing wonderful football

Any team photos or information of the 1946-47 season around? My wife’s step-Grandfather played as outside-right (I think), name of Idwal Jones (ex-Ton Pentre player) and we have no photos or info of that period.
Cheers

Steve – I can tell you that Idwal Jones played 4 1st-team 2nd Division League matches for the Swans: 19/10/46, away at Man City; 26/10/46 home to West Ham; 2/11/46 away to Sheffield Wednesday (all three at No. 7). He also payed away at Birmingham City on Christmas Day 1946, at No. 4.

Presumably he played in the reserve teams, in the Welsh LEague and the Combination Cup. The Swans were the first winners of this new trophy in that season, despite being relegated to the 3rd Division.

Hi, do you have any information about my boyfriends grandfather who played for Swansea town ( think it was late 40’s, early 50’s) his name was I symmons, I have his football contract packed away but no further info, family say he was in the paper too
